GARDASIL - HPV Vaccine In The News Again - Parents Beware

CBS News reports that, "There are new concerns about Gardasil, the vaccine that prevents a virus that caused cervical cancer. It's approved for girls as young as nine. And five million have received it since it was approved two years ago. The FDA and its maker insist it's safe. But CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson has exclusive information on some very serious side effects."

Please recall that people thought Thalidomide was great too. We all know that just because the FDA blesses a drug that it doesn’t make it safe or effective. Many Americans are suffering or have died as a result of Vioxx and other drugs we have heard reported in the news. Lawsuits continue to flood the courts over them. Can our government and the FDA assure us that this new vaccine is completely safe? Side effects have been reported, but do we understand what they are? I believe that there has been an alarming lack of research on this vaccine and we have not heard anything about the long term effects such as infertility, or whether this vaccine can cause birth defects or disrupt the auto-immune system. The FDA only just approved this vaccine in June, 2006. The duration of this vaccine had only been followed for about 4 years before it's approval, and it has only been followed on women, ages 16-26.

Parents should be making an informed choice especially with so many adverse reactions - including death - as a result of this vaccine. I know my daughter won't be going anywhere near this vaccine as long as I have a say.

Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Declaration of IndependenceJuly 4, 1776

"The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation." (Woodrow Wilson)

The 4 principal reasons why our federal government was formed:"(1) The common defense (national security);(2) the preservation of public peace, as well against internal convulsions as external attacks;(3) the regulation of commerce with other nations and between states;(4) the superintendent of our intercourse, political and commercial, with foreign countries (foreign affairs)." - Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Paper No.23, 1787 - a founding father with most important interpretation of the Constitution.

We are a nation that has a government—not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.-- Ronald Reagan, First Inaugural Address, 1981

"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." - Margaret Thatcher"Any appeasement of tyranny is treason to this republic and to the democratic ideal."- William Allen White

The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled.- Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)

The real danger is the gradual erosion of individual liberties through automation, integration, and interconnection of many small, separate record- keeping systems, each of which alone may seem innocuous, even benevolent, and wholly justifiable. -U. S. Privacy Study Commission, 1977
